Actually, it is not that bad. I always thought that fasting means stopping eating entirely, but with the diet I follow, when I fast, I still can have 500 calories a day, which is around 1/3 or 1/4 of my normal daily intake.

I’ve recently came across this form of diet, and I’ve decided to give it a go. One of my former colleagues, who I trust completely, recommended it to me, as he is one of those super intelligent people that I love spending time with. When he is interested in something, he makes sure he reads all the research that is done in that field, so his knowledge on that particular subject is enormous.

This diet has a number of health benefits to it. Apart from losing weight, there are improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol level, not forgetting the great results in insulin sensitivity.

For those of you who want to achieve weight loss, it is recommended that you fast for 2 days, then you can eat normally for 5 days. I will probably follow this plan for a month, then, after achieving my magic number in weight, I will reduce the fasting days to only 1 and keep on doing it for the rest of my life.

This diet is not like any others. It is rather easy to follow, and you can also pick the days that suit you the best. It obviously helps if you plan everything in advance. For example, try to avoid those days when you are invited to a party where you know your favourite meal is going to be served. Your mission is to complete this regime.
